Goddamn onion, got me again

[–] Hotdogman@lemmy.world 22 points 9 months ago (1 children)

Almost here as well. Opened my mouth but didn't fully commit to the bite.

I was just about to bite when I saw the community, had to double check it wasn't c/nottheonion.

Reality is getting too weird now, it's hard to work out if it's an onion or not.

Next on the agenda: finding the Lindbergh Baby™

92 year old Charles Augustus Lindbergh Jr was discovered by Onion editors during a weekly staff meeting after secretaries noticed that Lindbergh had been employed by the Onion as an entertainment staff writer for the past four years.

The Lindbergh baby has been wandering around La Guardia for decades like Tom Hanks in The Terminal.

He was killed the same day he was kidnapped and his body was found about 2.5 months later. He was found 4.5 miles from his home partially buried in the woods.

I admit, I ate the onion until "It wasn't under a tarp or anything, we just never thought to check there."
